Accommodation

Warsaw Presidential Hotel

Stay where the festival guests stay. Warsaw Presidential Hotel is one of the most iconic hotels in Poland: for decades this landmark was the residence of heads of state and world leaders, and today, as an independent five-star hotel, it carries that legacy forward. All 521 rooms and suites sit from the 20th floor upwards, with a wellness area with a heated pool and saunas, right next to the city's key business, shopping and cultural hotspots. The festival venue is about 500 metres away.

Getting there

  • Al. Jerozolimskie 65/79 · opposite Warszawa Centralna station
  • Centrum metro (M1) · 5-minute walk · festival venue approx. 500 m
  • Chopin Airport · train to Warszawa Centralna approx. 20 minutes, taxi 20-30

For festival attendees

A discount for festival attendees, with your festival ticket and the code. The code is active on presidential.pl, directly under the Choose a room link, and covers stays from August 26 to August 30 inclusive.

Festival party · 28.08

On the evening of August 28 the hotel hosts the Warsaw Glitch party. Entry is open to festival guests staying at the Warsaw Presidential Hotel, after signing up, and to the festival's invited VIP guests. Details and sign-ups will be announced closer to the festival.

A special prize provided by Warsaw Presidential Hotel

SPECIAL PRIZE · HACKATHON · WIN A VOUCHER · PRESIDENTIAL · PANORAMA SKY BAR · FLOOR NO.2 · BOOK YOUR STAY · WARSAW GLITCH

A Presidential Suite stay voucher, issued and fulfilled directly by Warsaw Presidential Hotel, subject to availability, the hotel's booking terms and the official competition rules.

The voucher

Two nights in the Presidential Suite, a two-storey apartment on the 40th floor, 260 square metres, with Warsaw at your feet. The package is fully presidential: access to the Presidential Lounge, access to all of the hotel's attractions and service at the level reserved for its most famous residents. The best room in Warsaw, in the version heads of state check into. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have stayed here, as have prime ministers, heads of state, members of royal families and the stars of the world stage.

The voucher can only be redeemed by an adult, on a date agreed with the hotel.

The hackathon brief

Make a film in which Warsaw Presidential Hotel plays the lead role: an ad, a music video, viral content or a film. The form is yours: fiction, documentary, a spot, animation or pure internet viral. The work must use the hotel's logo and show the hotel itself: the tower over the centre of Warsaw, the interiors or the views from its rooms. What counts is the idea, the craft and how hard the hotel carries the lead. Any tools go: from cameras to generative AI. Full rules, deadlines and submissions live on the hackathons page.
